I am pretty sure this was a bug, it become a draw by timeout vs insufficient material, because my opponent did have enough pieces for the game to continue as he has queen king 2x pawns, therefore this should have been a win to me since he finished his time!

In the final position,you had no pieces other than a king. This is called having insufficient mating material. The moment you exchanged off the last pair of rooks, you were playing for two results (a loss or a draw). You had no shot at a win due to it being impossible to mate the opposing king.

But its not just about my position, he had material which he could of checked mate with, i have had many similar and no 1 time did it become a draw before, this is the first time. If he did not have queen it would of made sense he did have a queen and 2 pawns so insufficient material rule wouldnt count

You were the one with insufficient material.

Your opponent timed out.

That's why it's called timeout vs. insufficient material.

In this condition, your opponent’s time’s up, but you don’t have the material to checkmate, so it’s a draw

lol. It’s good relief to win in totally lost position but how will you checkmate him?
